Using Django As A Microframework, Like Flask

Today me and my friend were discussing about the flask and django. We were arguing over flask is microframework and django is not and all other topics related to pros and cons.
I'm not going to start comparing these two great frameworks, but I've created a django-microsite project for a test.
I break down the settings.py, urls.py, views.py in one file. I googled about all these and finally achieved it.
Below is sample code. filename : django-microsite.py
Requirement : Django Framework and Python

#########################################
# A Pythonic Django Microsite example
# Inspired by Flask and Bottle framework
#########################################


import sys
from django.conf import settings

settings.configure(
 DEBUG=True,
 SECRET_KEU='secretkeygoeshere',
 ROOT_URLCONF = __name__,
 MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
     'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
     'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
        'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
 ),
)

from django.conf.urls import url
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response

def index(request):
 return HttpResponse("Hey see this! It's working.")

urlpatterns = ( 
 url(r'^$', index,name="index_page"),
)

if __name__ == "__main__":
 from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
 execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)

You will think, how to run this ? It's a django project :) use runserver command.
python django-microsite.py runserver
you can find the code on https://github.com/ashish2py/django-microsite.
for configuration, please read the following doc django-configurations

I'll explain about the codes later by updating the same blogpost.
